Manchester United eyes €40m signing of German striker Karim Adeyemi

German attacker Karim Adeyemi, a 24‑year‑old forward at Borussia Dortmund, is set to leave the club in the summer of 2027 after contract talks stalled. Dortmund, unwilling to meet his demand for €10 million per season in wages and higher release clauses, have placed him atop their summer transfer list and are prepared to accept cash offers around €40 million.

Manchester United have emerged as the leading English suitor, viewing Adeyemi’s pace, versatility across the front three and proven record of 10 goals and six assists last season as a valuable addition. The club must act quickly, as Chelsea and Liverpool are also monitoring the situation, and wage demands could complicate negotiations. A successful deal would bolster United’s attacking options ahead of the new campaign, while a missed opportunity may push the club to consider alternatives such as Crysencio Summerville.
